peculiar curative value, which can be

PUTNAM HALL, March 10.
Would your readers like to know how
an ''old timer" managed to live and grow
fat in the long ago: The story is a COM
mon one with us, but to others it may
bring instruction as well as entertain
ment,
In 1888 R. s. Mobley came to Putnam
Hall from WakulIa county, Florida. He
could find no Government land open to
homesteaders in this section even then,
and finally bought from Simon Temple.
1t was common pine land with strip Of
sandy hammock running through it, but
it bordered ON beautiful lake.
The first year he built neat little cot
tage and cleared-ten acres, on which he
planted peas and potatoes and set out
his grove. He then rented a field from
a neighbor, and here he planted a supply
of all food for man or beast suitable to
our climate. His crop made bountiful
return, and during the next winter he
went to work with a will to clear and
fence enough land to relieve him from
paying rent.
During the second year he made on his
own land more than was needed for the
use Of his family, and he has grown fine
crops ever since. Last year he was I'M
usually successful, and now he is SO
happy that you can see his smile at two
hundred yards. His orange. peach, pear
and fig trees are very fine and his grapes
are as sweet as his smile. am not alb

Professors Creighton's corrections Of
many traditions in relation to the several
Pontiffs who filled st. Peters chair dur
ing the period embraced in his last
volume have attracted much attention
throughout the United States. There
fore these conclusions are interesting as
. matter of news and we give some Of
them in our columns. Whether tie re-
suits Of Creighton's labors are sustained
by other authorities, is of no moment to
the Palatka News. For these the author
must be responsible, not ourselves. His
opinions as to the guilt or innocence of
the Borgias is Of no more concern to a
newspaper than would be his views as to
Beecher's theology or the theory Of evo-
luton.
Therefore we cannot enter into con-
troversy which is entirely outside the
sphere Of journalistic literature, and dis
claim as well all responsibility for the
opinions of historian who deals by au-
thority with a special subject. But il
any Of our readers have the taste and
time TO profit by course of study, we
commend to them the standard authors

There Is danger that the civilization Of
which we boast may become the chariot
Of Juggernaut and grind US to death
under the wheels Of its progress. The
new method of committing murder on a
grand scale ia perfectly safe from the
penalties of the law, and the sufferers
besides are always defenseless. Sleeping
and unsuspecting men, women and chill
dren are suddenly involved in wholesale
slaughter, and il few are tortured for
hours by fire or cold it is only to make
the horror resemble still more closely the
details of savage butchery. Yet against
the Indian, armies are sent out and on
their cruel Spractices the excavations of
Christendom are visited. And still the
laws elaborated and explained by great
advocates, learned judges and centuries
of experience seem powerless to prevent
repetititions Of the massacres which dis
graced the worship Of Moloch and the
usages of our savage forefathers.
During the past week the inmates of a
large hotel in the city of Buffalo slept in
